Infinite Thøught Sums Up ‘Materialism Today’

Here’s a good excerpt from infinite thøught’s “hysterical materialism” post apropos the Materialism Today Conference at University of London Birkbeck, which featured Slavoj Zizek and Alain Badiou:

The Materialism conference was fundamentally flawed and floored by fundamentalists - Christian of course: John Milbank’s weird Daily Mail-ish clerical Schmittian fantasy for a Feudal nationalism delivered in a bellowing windbaggish way was deeply reactionary and a pompous flirtation with fascism. It is not enough that we are all ‘anti-capitalist’: we are not the same kind of anti-capitalists as you, ‘sir’, nor will we ever be!
